Hey, this is a wonderful write! I rather liked the way you wrote, "and it took a greedy bite -, i could die of the plague" I sure hope you don't die of that. There could be many that follow you, so I really hope that YOU and others around you don't die from the plague! And you pass it on to Bob...ha ha, I hope he likes that!! I really enjoyed your write that I have read this evening! Great Work!!
